Writer-director Brett Heard has started shooting Stag, the indie comedy that stars Donald Faison, Eva Amurri and Jon Dore.

Heard’s debut feature, which is before the camera in Toronto through January 28, stars Faison as the instigator of pranks aimed at buddies, who stand to get their revenge at his stag party.

Stag is produced by Anita K. Sharma, and executive produced by Daniel Iron of Foundry Films. Arthur Cooper is serving as DOP, with Craig Harris in charge of production design.

The picture is set for a 2012 release.
